How good was Marco Antonio Barrera

[Puya]

One of the greatest Mexican fighters of all time, You should check out his fight with Kennedy McKinney. That was one of the best slugfest's you will ever see. If your MAB fan do not watch 1st Junior Jones fight because he took a bit of beating in that fight, although i think MAB should of won the rematch vs Junior Jones, he just had MAB's number just like Norton had Ali's and Forrest had Mosley's.

I think Barrera was one of the best Superbantamweights of all time he is up there with Wilfredo Gomez imo.

Yeah what he said

Why the F*** has this thread gone on for five pages?

If you have to ask if MAB was good you need to do some F****** homework. MAB is one of the best in our generation and thats the bloody end of it frankly.

CC Kel.Well stated. Point,set,match !!

Don't even waste your time on this character Kel....Since he has come here it has been nothing but insults and arguements....With everyone...he does not even debate....not even worth the time mate...

The guy is just looking to stir things up..He will eventually be flushed

Some Fu!!tards resort to Degrading a fighter ..."Taking his heart..."
Thats when you know there shallow posers.

Pac bitched him. Plain and simple. If it's degrading to MAB, too bad so sad. I'll give him a pass on the first fight. He didn't know what hit him and he couldn't adjust. But he came into the second fight like he just hoped he wouldn't get hurt.

He was scared of Pac. You know it, I know it and the American (and Mexican) people know it.

The question isn't "was he good" it's "how good was he". I don't think he was as good as most do and it drives you people mad. Yet I'm the one being accused bias.

MAB come across a fighter that had his number Junior Jones, just like Norton/ALI Mosley/Forrest. Pacquiao beat him fair and square, now i don't think Barrera was in his prime against Pacquiao but he lost and no one is denying that. But your trying to rub it into people's face to purposely try and cause an argument. MAB is still one of the greatest Mexican Fighters of All Time losing to Pacquiao is nothing to be ashamed of.

Barrera's best wins

Paulie Ayala
Erik Morales x2
Johnny Tapia
Kevin Kelley
Naseem Hamed
Jesus Salud
Kennedy McKinney

[xtianco]

MAB is legend.

[zhubin]

The reason this thread had gone on for so many pages is because people pay way to much attention to a moron like TWERP. As for Barrera...he is one of the greats IMO. One of the smartest fighters of this or any era. He could box like a technician, he could slug/brawl it out, or he would do both. His fights with Morales and Hamed alone make him a legend.

Pound for Pound if they are the same size i would pick the Featherweight Quartet over the Original Big FOUR


Juan Manuel Marquez UD's Marvin Hagler

Erik Morales decisions Sugar Ray Leonard

Manny Pacquiao Kayoes Thomas Hearns

Marco Antonio Barrera outpoints Roberto Duran



4-0 must be too much. But i think they can really win at least 3-1.

Hagler was a god at his weight, Hearns went through the weights with ease because of his frame and power, Duran was a beast at lightweight probably the greatest, Leonard had a short prime but only SRR could beat him at his best. As great as your fab 4 are, they are no match for the Fab 4.

[Gandalf]

Barrera was a great. Okay some were able to beat him, but he was able to beat some of them and others too. He was a great fighter, I don't think there is much room to fall out on that. Morales is great. Pac is great. They are all pretty great in their own particular ways.

Amir Khan is not great. And he is bald. But could be great, unlikely though.

[brocktonblockbust]

Amir Khan is not great. And he is bald

Thats a lie. Plain and simple. A bald-faced lie.

[Nameless]

Like it or not, the guy was strong, tough and had a great technique. He also accomplished in the ring what 95% of the other boxers will not even come close to achieve. I've never been a fan of the guy but I have to recognize all the achievements he collected over the years and anybody who says that he was shit obviously is either a twat or is overwhelmed by a shallow subjectivity.

[GAME]

Legend!

7 world titles in a career spanning 4 seperate decades and 9 different weight classes. Not many can do that!

He was from an era when the best fought the best instead of cherry picking washed up weight drained leftovers. He took guys zeros and thats why he is one of the greatest ever.

[IronDanLaw]

Good enough to be in the top 5 greatest Mexican fighters of all time IMO.
